The 100 actress opened up in the issue about how her character, Raven Reyes, defies all odds put against her.
“She embodies so much strength, passion and intelligence, vulnerability and resilience,” Lindsey says of the character. “I think she is a fantastic role model for anyone, including myself. She never gives up and whatever she faces, she thinks a way through it or at least tries.”
One thing about Raven that speaks to Lindsey the most is her “‘never say die’ attitude”.
“[It] is something I love so much about her,” she shares. “I hope other people can resonate with her. Anyone with struggles of a disability can find solace and inspiration in her strength to endure and conquer.”
Lindsey adds, “I think she is also a rare character. It is surprisingly and unfortunately hard to find a female character on television that is a woman of color, disabled, a super genius, sexy and still kicks a ton of ass. She is never stereotyped by her ‘labels’ but instead defies them all.”
Lindsey Morgan and Tasya Teles head to the center pitch for the BC Children’s Hospital Benefit Soccer Match on Saturday (September 16) in Vancouver, Canada.

“I can say that they are from Earth,” Jason shared. “They are from our time, so before the first apocalypse,”
So, what does that mean?
“[It] means they probably were in cryo-sleep because they’re not a bunch of 100-year-old men and women. There’s a couple new characters that we’ll meet that will be prominent like the leader of that group on the ship.”
He added, “They’ve come back to this planet that they don’t recognize. All that’s left is this Garden of Eden that Clarke’s been living in with her daughter [Madi].”
During one, Eliza and Bob both predicted how their characters have grown up since the season 4 finale, where we saw them separated and six years in the future.
“It’s much more wholesome and little, and I’m really excited about that,” Eliza says of Clarke’s new role, which isn’t a leader.
She adds, “I mean, obviously she’s gone through so much loss, so there would still be that feeling inside her but yeah, over those six years there would have been a lot of time to make peace an be less hurt by everything that’s happened.”
Bob adds about how Bellamy would’ve taken over that leader role that Clarke left behind.
“I think the whole group up there work well as a team. And the challenge is figuring out what’s going on on the ground.”
We recently caught up with her and asked about Devon‘s exit from The 100 this season as his character Jasper was – SPOILER ALERT – killed off.
“Heartbreaking,” Lindsey told us of her reaction. “I think Devon is…he was my first friend on the show. I love him. He’s hilarious. he’s also just so good, just such a good actor – not just to work with, but to watch. He has so much range.”
“Unfortunately, his story arc was always kind of a tragic one, from the get-go, from being speared in the chest,” she said. “He was suffering from PTSD, which is a very natural reaction that I’m surprised more characters don’t have [considering] what they’ve gone through.”
“I think even though his arc has been tragic, I think it’s also relatable,” Lindsey told JJJ. “It’s very honest and real. I just respect him to much. He was the comic relief and it’s almost poetic that the goofy guy is really going through something serious. It was told in a very interesting, remarkable way. It was touching and human. I love him so much.”
She added, “I’m kind of a serious person, so Devon is someone who always brings me out of my shell and makes me laugh. Just as Jasper did that for Raven. And I love that.”
The 100 season finale airs this Wednesday, May 24 @ 9/8c on The CW.
